Last year, WPBF reported that Roman's Palm Coast roommates went out of town and asked him to watch their pets. When they returned, he told them he had killed one and burned and bit another. Two other cats were missing and also presumed dead.

The Cat, named Oreo, survived and was adopted and renamed. WESH reported that the new owner now calls the animal Phoenix because he rose from the ashes.
